Chill Out: Where to Get Boozed-Up Shakes, Slushies, and Floats

Cuba Libre Float at Bar PilarIt’s not on the cocktail menu, but ask beverage director
Jonathan Fain to make this combo of rum, Mexican Coke, and vanilla gelato
topped with absinthe-laced whipped cream and cherries soaked in Southern
Comfort. The complex concoction comes in a Coke bottle with the top lopped
off.

Lemonade-Thyme Snow Cone at the Ritz-Carlton Lobby
BarCrushed ice gets a kick of vodka at this twinkly drinks
spot—light, bright lemonade-thyme is the best of the three flavors, but
you can try strawberry-basil and blueberry-mojito when you order the
“trio.” Just don’t count on driving home.

Slushito at EstadioThis hot spot keeps switching up the cocktail combos swirling
through its two slushy machines. You might try cherry, tequila, and
shishito pepper on one visit, then grapefruit, sherry, and
chamomile-infused bourbon the next. All are the perfect start to a summer
evening out.
